Magical Crops

[Naddox]

Hey all, curious what everyones opinions are on this forge mod 'Magical Crops'. Its an awesome mod which adds tons of features but my favorite is that you can grow crops that give you the essence of certain ores which can then be turned into the ore, like 8 iron ore essense becomes 8 Iron ore blocks and 8 Diamond Essence becomes 1 diamond. Do you guys think this mod is game breaking for FTB or fits well in it? It takes time to get these crops going although not neerly as long as extra bees takes to get some reneable reasources going.

Just from a quick glance it looks slightly game breaking. But in all honestly if someone didn't want to mine at all, then could be potentially useful.

Still better than IC2 crops..

Out of curiosity why do you say that?

 

[Blackmoore]

I've played with those under 1.2.5, and 1.4.7 and the IC2 crops have either failed to work as they were supposed to (no seed pods under 1.2.5), or ended up in a tangled mess. anything would be better.

 

[Spikednate12]

We have them now with 1.4.7, as we are waiting for 1.6 to update our pack, and it's tedious but otherwise they work pretty well. Generally speaking the beginning of IC2 crops sucks due to terribly low stats on everything and random team mates flying through your roof onto your plants but that's another story.

Well, if we had gotten more than Hops out of it it would have been a better minigame. perhaps i'll try again with a better layout for crop matrons. but it's tough when game play time is limited, and theres so much else I want to do.

 

[Spikednate12]

That is very true, they are time intensive if you wish for them to prosper. Or of course you have shear luck. Hops aren't bad though, maybe not desirable but they are a higher tier plant and can be used to jump even more tiers for base plants. I believe they are tier V

seems interesting, I wouldnt say "game breaking" as things like the quarry still gives more resources but is good if you need a certain resource asap and have them grown. I would put them in with forestry bees, fun and something extra to experiment with, but not OP

I have recently started a new LP using the Magic World 2 mod pack and it has magic crops 2 in it and I am very happy about that fact. I am still very new to the mod pack but I am looking forward to an Iron farm for real and not an Iron golem farm.

* maic crops 1

Magic crops is reaaly fun.
You can run your base off of 100% farm grown coal

 

[Tangpau]

Yeah I think it is going to be amazing once I get it going. I am going to focus on Blood Magic and Magic Crops 2, this should be a fun series.

this is true in all honesty they can be game breaking especially when paired up with growth speed increasing things and planters harvesters a small farm say tin upgraded planter harvester paired with growth speed increases will more then fill a diamond chest in half a minecraft day
